I was driving to school this morning, listening to my usual station, when all of a sudden, out of the blue, the DJ goes "and after this break, we'll talk to Lemony Snicket." Well, I was like this: , so I turned the radio up full blast to catch every nuance of the interview. To make a long story short, it was really funny (DH showed up "instead of" LS, which the station people took to mean that he was enigmatic, a word which here means "lazy".
He also accused this "World Class Rock" station of trying to end the production of books. ("Book the 13th will be the last book. Well, not the last book in the world! You havn't suceeded in doing that yet!") And he was also trying to get some people to show up at a charity benefit for victims of Katrina. It will be held tonight at the Make Out Room in San F. (It's a kind of club or something.) Other authors will be there, and he made sure to mention that all of the other authors were very attractive, and if you donate enough money, they will probably agree to make out with you! (har har.)
Anyway, here's a link to the radio's site where it has some more stuff about it: www.kfog.com/MorningShow/default.asp
Their summary of the interview:
Lemony Snicket was too lazy to get up early enough to join the KFOG Morning Show today, but his ol' pal Daniel Handler stopped by to assure us the 12th book of the "Series of Unfortunate Events" series will be available on October 18th. Also Daniel Handler will be joined by many a local writer for an event tonight at the Make-Out Room as part of the Progressive Reading Series, 7-9 tonight.
He also took a few calls from callers. An enire 5th grade class called in, and he asked them why they weren't spending their time learning instead. And another caller had him confused with Jim Carrey.
